btf: Allow mmap of vmlinux btf

User space needs access to kernel BTF for many modern features of BPF.
Right now each process needs to read the BTF blob either in pieces or
as a whole. Allow mmaping the sysfs file so that processes can directly
access the memory allocated for it in the kernel.

remap_pfn_range is used instead of vm_insert_page due to aarch64
compatibility issues.
